• Support the preparation of project progress reports, schedule updates and performance tracking to assist the wider project delivery team.
• Work closely with engineers, construction personnel, subcontractors and the planning team to understand upcoming activities, resource requirements and potential programme impacts.
• Assist with identifying project risks, delays and opportunities for improvement, escalating issues to senior planning personnel where required.
• Participate in planning workshops, project coordination meetings and professional development opportunities to build your understanding of project scheduling, construction methodologies and project controls.
